net: fix length computation in rt_check_expire()
[ Upstream commit cf8da764fc6959b7efb482f375dfef9830e98205 ] rt_check_expire() computes average and standard deviation of chain lengths, but not correclty reset length to 0 at beginning of each chain. This probably gives overflows for sum2 (and sum) on loaded machines instead of meaningful results.
